Palm Oil Free Dairy

We ran 539 dairy through our palm oil free rules: 24 pass, 12 need a label check, and 45 don't make it.

Milk, yogurt, cheese and butter are dairy fat and pass. The catches are the imitation products that sit on the same shelf: spreadable blends, some processed cheese slices, whipped toppings and coffee creamers, which often replace milk fat with palm or a "vegetable fat" mix.
